The MHP-20 is the payload package for the USV and it deploys which sensor?

• A. AN/AQS-2C
• B. AN/AQS-20C
• C. Airborne Mine Neutralization System
• D. Forward Looking Sonar

Answer: (A)

The MHP-20 is the Mine Hunting Payload for the unmanned surface vehicle and is configured to deploy a mine-hunting sonar. The sensor it uses is the AN/AQS-2C, a compact towed mine-hunting sonar designed for operation from unmanned platforms to detect and locate mines at standoff. The other options aren’t matched to this payload: the AN/AQS-20C is a different mine-hunting sonar used in other configurations, the Airborne Mine Neutralization System is for aircraft, and Forward Looking Sonar serves navigation and general obstacle detection rather than dedicated mine search on the USV. So, the sensor deployed by the MHP-20 is the AN/AQS-2C.
